Prediabetes: A Fundamental Text begins with an overview of the demographic, anthropometric, biobehavioral, and biochemical factors that drive the transition from normal blood glucose to prediabetes. Emerging knowledge from the fi elds of genomics, transcriptomics, microRNAs, metabolomics, and microbiomics is incorporated into a comprehensive treatise on the pathobiology of prediabetes.
The focus then shifts to evidence-based management of prediabetes and prevention of type 2 diabetes. Emphasis is placed on practical adaptations that would enable cost effective community diabetes prevention initiatives.
Interventions utilizing lifestyle modification are prioritized over medications, but novel approaches (including cyclical medication strategy, designer nutraceuticals, and metabolic surgery) are also discussed.
The deep understanding offered by Prediabetes: A Fundamental Text is critical to the discovery and delivery of programs for preventing diabetes, and is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, public health practitioners, and policy makers.

This book is dedicated to the physicians, scientists, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, psychologists, lifestyle coaches, and all professional individuals and laypersons engaged in the research, discovery, dissemination, translation, application, and execution of the simple yet profound idea that modest lifestyle changes can help individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes avoid that diagnosis. Those individuals at high risk of type 2 diabetes have the condition known as prediabetes.
This book also is dedicated to the nearly 90 million people in the United States and 374 million worldwide who live with prediabetes, in the hopes that the information contained herein will provide them and their healthcare team the knowledge necessary for blocking the occurrence of diabetes, reversing prediabetes, and restoring normal glucose regulation.
